Yes, most definitely. Many of these games have not been released or seen in several years. I played Super Mario World on the GBA at Target today and if I hadn't already owned the game on SNES, I would probably buy it. I've been thinking of getting Breath of Fire 1 and 2 for GBA since I haven't played them since I could rent SNES games, and I never finished them. Re-releasing old games also makes them new again and gives this 'generation' of gamers a chance to play these games.

I'm waiting for Nintendo to announce a GBA version of Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link.

You know what would really kick ass... If Nintendo followed suit with Squaresoft and how they are re-releasing their old SNES titles (Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy's, etc).

Just think how awesome it would be to play Zelda's 1-4 all on one good ole Gamecube disc, or put them on GBA :mischief: (of course they might need a lil tweaks graphically and such).

But damn can't ya just imagine... *shivers at the thought*

Cheerio

BoF 2 on GBA? Damn, I would have waited for that had I knew it was coming out instead of getting BoF 1.

Same here! Actually, I'd like a re-release of Zelda and Zelda II for GBA, preferably on the same pack! (and possibly some additional quests/features!) 😃

What kind of a half-tard wouldn't say "yes"?

:cyclops:
"Uh, no. Re-releasing games so they can be enjoyed on a new console is definitely not cool."

Too bad they probably won't use the Japanese box art for the box.

God I at least hope they won't go back to using the original box art for the American release of BoF2 for the SNES. That thing was hideous.

I hope Square re-releases Seiken Densetsu 3 on the GBA, AND RELEASES IT IN THE US THIS TIME!!! Chrono Trigger would be cool too.

i've been playing video games since i was 3! so now i'm the biggest old-school gamer in my school. all these kids giving me crap about how the new super mario game for gameboy advance is brand new and it's never been released before! and they think Zelda OOA is the first zelda and when i showed them The Legend of Zelda (NES) they thought i got ripped off!😡 😡 😡

Hmm.. I surely hope they go for LTTP and not Zelda 2.. otherwise Z2E might be a no go. But whatever it's bound to be cool! I want Shining Force Advance (although it's rumored to be a new game) I'd also like thekm to release Phantasy Star on GBA. But a remake is nothing without enhanced graphics, from what I've seen of SMW, the graphics aren't that improved.

Well, they didn't really need to since they already looked good and they basically just ported the SNES version. They'd loose the feel and style if they were changed, and don't think they could improve much upon them. If it were a NES game itd be different. Super Mario Advance uses the Super Mario Allstar graphics, and Super Mario Bros. 3: Super Mario Advance 3 will probably do the same. When Zelda is made, it'll probably use the BS style graphics.
I don't think SMW for GBA was really a remake in the sense that its the same game that was on SNES with a few new features, compared to Starfox 64 to Starfox and Resident Evil(GCN) to Resident Evil(PSX). Its more of a re-release for another system.
